Can timea capitis spread or transfer from children to adults. Should we avoid touching their hair. And what about thing which they touch after scratching their itchy head. Should we avoid all that thing which they touch after straching their itchy head . Because they all become infected by germs. And it is almost impossible. So what precautions should we use?
